shcg: Once again, rocking the Sassafras! You have an awesomely whimsical way of scrapping, and the more I see it, the more it grows on me. I agree with some of what has been said about utilizing the crossword piece in some way, although I'd suggest just marking it as 2009, or including that tidbit somewhere else on this wonderful LO!

SHCG - What an upbeat, whimsical page - this page is so delightfully YOU, Marlene! Excellent colors, embellies & dimension. Fabulous overall design. I hafta agree w/ Michelle - initially, the vertical length of the crossword bit threw me off but it grew on me. I adore Brenda's suggestion of putting your birthday in that piece! I always love the sense of play & fun in your LOs. Groovy how you used this as a response to 2 challenges too!

SHCG: What a funky LO, I love it. I was a bit thrown off by the size of the crossword piece, but after looking again , I assumed you were going for equal heights on both side of the awesome photos. Love the colors and all the embellies. Great job!

SHCG: Hello, Ms. Fabulous! I like the way the transparency looks over the teal blue. Love all the layering and the different photo edits. My only suggestion is to maximize the crossword piece by including your birthday month, maybe even date and/or year. Cute embellies. I think the owl has become your mascot. I dig the filmstrip and title, and the reappearance of the SL pps. Fabulous job meeting the challenge.
